I have to say that when he found out that Mr. Yamamoto's phone was empty, Tetsufumi Hirakawa really thought about it a lot.

Combined with the previous entrustment of Mr. Yamamoto and the threat of Mr. Amamiya, there will be a kind of "Mr. Yamamoto will not leave because of Mr. Amamiya, right?" Such speculation.

And if this kind of thing were in the hands of a famous Grim Reaper elementary school student, Mr. Yamamoto would probably have suffered a tragic ...... Sorry, shouldn't have thought so.

But if you really want to say that, according to the second law of detectives, the suspect who is suspected first is not the real suspect.

By the way, this so-called second law of detectives is actually made up in passing.

However, if a certain Mr. Mori were here, he would definitely make a statement that "the suspect is you, Amamiya-san".

— and then successfully excludes a wrong answer.

“……”

What kind of nonsense was he trying to write?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa frowned sadly. A lot of the above is cranky, in fact, it's not a strange thing to change your mobile phone number after leaving the job, right?

But it's a bit of a hassle, and it's hard to find Yamamoto Sensei.

Although there should be teachers in the school who know Yamamoto-sensei's address, there are also files that record personal information. Even if you move, you can always find the answer by asking your neighbors or moving company.

So it's actually feasible to visit your home.

But it's not at all, it's too exciting. It's just a matter of being a student. What's more, his purpose was just to ask about Amamiyaya-san.

Even if you can't find Mr. Yamamoto, you should be able to get the answer if you communicate with Amamiya-san well. It's really not good, and there is a secret weapon for parents.

So let's not bother Mr. Yamamoto.

That's how the decision was made. But it seems that Mr. Hinata is still worried about him.

"Mr. Hirakawa, the number is not wrong, right?"

"I've done it before I called."

After saying this, I walked to Mr. Kuda's side and checked the number again, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Hmm...... Is there something about Mr. Hirakawa looking for Mr. Yamamoto...... Amamiya-san? ”

"yes."

"Can you tell me about it?"

"I don't know much about that. That's why I wanted to ask Mr. Yamamoto. But since I can't find it, forget it. ”

"Hmm...... That's right. If there's anything I can help with Mr. Hiragawa with, just come to me. ”

Mr. Kuda looked at him and said intimately.

Then.

"Come on."

Hands clenched into fists, a cheering gesture. It's kind of cute.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was infected and smiled.

"Yes, then thank you Mr. Hinata first."

"You're welcome."

Sensible young female colleagues are really easier to get along with than those problem students.

It's a bit of a bad comparison from the teacher's point of view, but that's how it is.

——

At noon the next day, during the lunch break, Tetsufumi Hirakawa went to class again, ready to talk to Amamiya-san in person.

As a result, after coming to the class, when I saw Amamiya Night preparing to step forward, Shiori Shinohara didn't know where to come out of nowhere, and stood in front of her.

"Hirakawa-sensei."

The girl stopped him in such a way that he had to stop.

"Shinohara-san, what's wrong?"

"Teacher, I thought about it seriously yesterday......" The girl lowered her head in front of him, a little twisted, but after taking a deep breath, she still said, "Hmm...... I'm sorry for the threat I made to Mr. Hirakawa before. ”

Then he bowed solemnly, ninety degrees.

"Shiori is rude."

“……”

That's what happened. To be honest, if it weren't for the incident of Amamiya Night, he would have forgotten about it a long time ago.

No matter how it is a minor child, or his student, if he stops at verbal threats, this mistake is not very serious. What's more, after learning about what happened afterwards, I can understand it to some extent.

It's just a means for hedgehogs to protect themselves.

The sentence after school yesterday was said with a joking meaning, not a blame.

So......

"Don't worry, it's okay, Shinohara-san, get up."

After saying this, Shiori Shinohara finally got up, but her face was still a little red.

"It's just...... I don't know how to apologize to the teacher. ”

"It's okay, it's good to be able to recognize mistakes."

"Hmm...... That, Mr. Hirakawa...... Good bye. ”

He nodded slightly, rather shyly, and walked away with his head bowed after speaking.

Uh-huh, that's it. The troubled girl of yesteryear realizes her mistakes under her own guidance. This kind of thing really makes him feel very satisfied as a teacher.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at Shiori Shinohara's back as she walked away, and sighed with relief.

So next, let's let him settle the matter of Amamiya Night.

With such a success story in front of him, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was full of confidence in his heart.

Walking to Amamiya Night's seat, this girl, who looked quite well-behaved and quiet, sat on the seat and wrote something...... Presumably a diary?

As soon as he got closer, she closed the notebook, looked up at him, and politely stood up and bowed slightly.

"Mr. Hirakawa, are you looking for me?"

“……”

I can't tell you that I actually threatened him like that before.

I didn't know what the situation of the student in front of me was, so I had to say, "Well, Amamiya-san, can you come with me to the office?" The teacher has something to talk to you about. ”

"Okay."

Immediately responded and came down. Then, she put away the notebook on the table, and then silently followed him out of the class and into the office under the gaze of some classmates.

Hey, such a well-behaved look, is it really the schoolgirl who threatened him before? Was it a delusion before?

It is inevitable that there will be such suspicions.

Anyway, when you get to the office, ask about it.

With this in mind, Tetsufumi Hirakawa led Amamiya-san all the way to the office.

After taking a seat in the office, he looked at the girl standing in front of him, she was standing straight, and the expression on her face was also very well-behaved, without any of the same look that had threatened him before.

"That...... Amamiya-san. Tried to shout.

"Yes."

"Can you tell me why you've been late for the past few days?"

That's what I asked last time, and I was threatened.

This time, however......

"Teacher, I'm sorry."

I saw that Amamiya Ye bowed and apologized very quickly, and his posture was not perfunctory.

"I've been causing trouble to the teacher in recent days, and I won't be like this in the future."

“……”

With such a reaction, Tetsufumi Hirakawa fell silent.

However, during his silence, the girl in front of him never got up. By the time he came back to his senses, it had been half a minute, and she still maintained a meticulous bowing posture.

"Ah...... I'm sorry, but Amamiya-san, hurry up. ”

Hurriedly said.

"Yes."

That's when I got up.

"Teacher, is there anything else?"

“…… No, nothing more. It's good that Amamiya-san can recognize his mistakes. ”

"Thank you, teacher."

"No, no thanks."

After completing the above conversation with a tangled mood that I don't know how to describe, and then bidding farewell to Amamiya Night, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat in his office and doubted himself deeply.

Was it a hallucination before, or is it a hallucination now?

However, since she has already said that she will not do it again in the future, she should be fine, right?

Probably?

Probably.
